Latin text

Urbs beata Jerusalem
dicta pacis visio
quae construitur in caelis
Nivi ex lapidibus
et angelis coronata
ut sponsata comite.

Nova veniens e coelo
nuptiali thalamo.
Praeparata, ut sponsata,
copuletur Domino.
Plateae et muri ejus
ex auro purissimo.

Portae nitent margaritis,
adytis patentibus,
et virtute meritorum
Illuc introducitur
omnis qui ob Christi nomen
hic in mundo premitur.

Tunsionibus, pressuris,
Expoliti lapides,
suis coaptantur locis,
per manus artificis,
Disponuntur permansuri,
sacris aedificiis.
